Good morning, Chicklettes. Breakfast on the deck in 20 minutes! I have coffee and scrambled eggs and sausages for you and even some fresh raspberries for those who eat low GI carbs.

Well, my rugs are clean and I finally got into the Office when one of the men jimmied it open and then changed the lock! What a silly day! It was sooooo hot too. Doesn't the Weatherman know it's September? We BBQ'd chicken for supper and had it with cukes and tomatoes - sure was easy.

This morning I will be on the road with a friend. We have to return to the schools all the entries that the kiddies sent in to the Fair. I also have envelopes with the prize money. When I am no longer Treasurer, I think I'll be doing the Children's Art section of our Fair. Next year, every kid who enters 5 or more items will have their name entered in a draw for a bike. That should encourage the kids and also up the number of entries. Am I crazy?

Gotta go but will check in later this afternoon. Rob is shortly after 8, then we have to load all the stuff in the wagon before hitting the first school shortly after nine. It'll be a busy day but we will do a wings and salad lunch in there somewhere. Yes, I'm taking water! Today will be another scorcher but it will cool tomorrow. Maybe I can finish off more of those damned pears!

Happy day, Sweeties.

I know I am slow but I think it is Tuesday Ruth,
Off to take the kids to school, Parent committy meeting and then to the gym for a 9 o'clock class. Yess, we joined yesterday. 4 of us together. I need to know someone else is there.

Little man's teache said to me yesterday how charming he is...i sighed and told her she had been snowed in only 3 days ( I said it with a huge smile).

Older boy is doing and archiological dig at school in the start of his study of Egypt.

Stay cool,
be well,
-L

Good morning everyone! Woke up 30 minutes late and did the mad dash to get dd off to school. She's like her mom, does well under pressure, and we were out of here in half the time. Hmmm, wonder why she's so slow about cleaning up?

Ya'll have a wonderful day, I have to go tame the hair monster, NEVER go to bed with a wet head! I'm scaring kids here! I'll be back after work with fun fun stories!

Thanks, L144S. Not enough caffeine yet. I think it's right now.

Morning girls. CAN NOT WAKE UP ON TIME! I guess I must need the rest, so needless to say, didnt workout. and also ate some pasta last night......but today is a fresh start. also trying to lower my caffeine intake......i am retaining tons of water over here!
how is everyone today?

Good Morning ladies

Ruth~~~Save a place for me on your deck. Eggs, no sausage, and lots of coffee, please. I'll be there shortly

L~~Little man sounds like such a cutie!

Sherrie~~~You look beautiful just the way you are, bad hair day or not.

Toryah~~~I'm keeping you in my prayers, girl. Take care

All to come~~~ Have a great one.
~~~Sil

Hi PJ~~You snuck in there while I was posting. Drink lots of water today and it will flush out.

Good Morning all you lovely chickies.........

Yes, it really IS Tuesday.... darn, I thought maybe we were one day closer to the weekend!! Ah well, it'll be Wednesday tomorrow! Hmm, yesterday was supposed to be a work day, but a friend called in a severe depression - he needed to pick up something from IKEA that wouldn't fit in his car, sooooo - off to IKEA I went! (and there went most of my day, too!!) But, the Vitamin Shop wa having a GREAT sale, so I stocked up on Atkins ready to drink shakes, psyllium husk capsules (I ran out of fibrecon and NEEDED this!! ) and bought a container of Designer Whey to try...... I remember someone here said that the French Vanilla flavor can be "adjusted" by adding chocolate extracts, flavoring? I sure hope so! Because I took the day "off" yesterday, now I have twice as much to do today! Darn it! the weather is just gorgeous today..... oh well......

Ruthie, breakfast sounds great, I'm on my way! (and yes, you MUST be crazy about the kids art for next years' fair!!!)

L - why is it our kiddies are wonderful, adorable and well-behaved for EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!

Sherrie -- OUCH! Scary hair is the pits! I'm sure you'll get it gorgeous in no time!

PJ - drink lots to flush out!

Sil and all else to come..... have a great day!!

Good morning!

Got a spring in my step today, I feel great after yesterday's ultrasound and more and more confident that ths is my month!

Today is a "get back to normal" day--going to drop in later this morning to have Miree burn offsome extra energy, back home to do some MAJOR clean up and a nice rest this afternoon before dh comes home. Pretty much a standard day. But why does it feel so nice? Optimism is a powerful thing, I swear!

Have a great day everyone!

Pooky, are you on the CAD? How is that? I wonder if that would be an option for days when i slip?

Booooo !

hey everyone,

See how long i managed to stay away

Well a quiet day here just been out for a walk and went shopping thanks all for your support, it means a lot as i havent been here that long but your all a lovely bunch

Have a nice day everyone

Good afternoon!

I see that everyone is up and about before I was, again. You all make me feel like such a slug. Busy people seem to get more done. All I do is work and housework. I'm looking for someplace to volunteer, I need to get out and make some friends in this town. (Lived here 2 years, 0 friends not associated with work.) Okay, enough whining abut my life.

Do we have a thread where we review low/no carb foods? I just found a bunch of new products at the Walgreens next to my office. I'm munching on 0 carb gummy bears right now.

Toryah - I'm glad you came back!

PJ - I need to kick the caffine too. Diet colas are what's stopping the losses, I'm sure.

Pooky - I'm glad the news was good yesterday.

All else - have a good day, whatever's left of it where you are.

Watch out for those zero carb candies, Dyan. If you have enough of them, there will for sure be carbs in them.


Ruth, I bet you'll have more fun dealing with the kiddies' art contest than with the bookkeeping. BTW, if anyone is interested in great low carb cheesecake recipes, here's a terrific website.
http://www.lowcarb-friends.com/cgi-b...ipe/recipe.cgi I have posted one of the pumpkin cheesecake recipes from that site in our dessert section for the person who was looking for one.

Not much going on around here today. I've been planning on getting outside all day because it's just gorgeous, but one thing and another has interfered. I think after Y&R is over, I will head out there and do some more cleanup. Getting ready for fall bulb planting.


Pooky good luck on your mission. I know, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Staying OP and hoping for the scale to budge downward this week. I must say, this Fat Flush Plan is great for the complexion. My skin has never felt so smooth and dewy. DEWY!!!! I sound like a commercial.

I am back from the land of little boys and ice cream and donuts. Otherwise known as Maine. My friend has 3 sons (look away, Peach) and it's tons of fun to be there, but ever so nice to come home! they are exhausting! But too cute :

back to the work grind tomorrow. I am sort of avoiding the whole 9-11 thing, I feel like I just want to get it over, and be sure nothing else happens. My DH will be taking the subway tomorrow, and I don't like it. I'm sure things will be OK, but I wish we could just stay home!

back to eating protein, drinking water and cran water tonight to wash out all the sugar! We had a little wine a few times over the weekend too, if you really need to know!

have a good night-

dottie
